May I see a show of hands from all those reading these pages that have not either tried or consideredbondage and fetish plays? Thought so! I can't imagine anyone in this community raising their hands on that question.

My partner and I recently acquired a pair of Leopard bling cuffs. Now at first blush, wrist and ankle cuffs may not seem like something worth writing that much about, right? True, the belt from your cotton robe can do in a pinch. But it is so much nicer having the proper tools for the job! We get most of our toys from EdenFantasys. So, I anticipated quality but not at this level. Really, these cuffs are more something you would expect to be handled by a toy house specializing in equipment for the B&D/S&M enthusiast. As my partner and I are well past the 'Bondage Fun Kit' stage we appreciate more professional and sophisticated products.

Styling is attractive and functional and as any good Dom or sub will tell you, security is even more important (this is where the cotton belt can really fall down). The whole purpose of being restrained is to place your fate in the hands of your trusted tormentor and if you can escape, where is the trust and thrill of it all? The Leopard bling cuffs strap snugly, yet comfortably, to the wrists or ankles. The inner suede lining makes them comfortable for long term wear, such as a night on the town or "Special" weekend. Provision has been made for the use of small padlocks to further aid in establishing the realization that comes with total loss of personal freedom. Heavy D-rings make it easy to attach the cuffs by rope, clip or other means to any convenient bed post, spreader bar or what have you. Unless you're Criss Angel, don't expect to escape on your own! Once the Leopard bling cuffs have been secured, relax and accept the fact that you aren't going anywhere until your partner is finished!

Again, we found quality to be excellent and more than expected from a company not specializing in such equipment. Cuffs have one basic job and that is to secure a willing partner. Leopard bling cuffs do it at a professional level and they do it in style! I recommend storing them as if they were strapped around someone's wrists to "train" the cuffs in naturally "assuming the position" when ready for use. As with many genuine leather products, they are a bit stiff when new.

We recently did a review of the Nexus Sr. Dildo, for which I took most of the credit. Now, my lady is going to reintroduce me to her "Leopard bling cuffs", get out a paddle, strap and cane, my wonderful Nexus and see if she can convince me it's better to share the credits with your partner! I wonder, do you think perhaps I'll agree with her by the time she's ready to remove my cuffs?
